Bulgaria's Tourist Trade Set for "Bumper Year in 2006"

Bulgaria has seen its popularity among tourists rocket in recent years and the country's tourist trade looks set to see another bumper year in 2006, forecast the property investment specialists from leading UK company Assetz. "With the growth of low-cost travel helping to boost the boom in travel around Europe, Bulgaria has been a major beneficiary as travellers have looked to the country as the perfect destination." According to Assetz agency Bulgaria is set to see a boost in visitor numbers throughout the course of 2006 because they are able to enjoy the warm weather and relatively cheap economy of the country. The experts note that British Airways launched two evening flights to Varna earlier in the year, but soon had to add further flights to the airport following a major growth in interest from customers in the UK. "British Airways has found that the routes are so popular that it is now opening them up all year round. Flights between Varna and Gatwick will now operate throughout the year into the foreseeable future, as the company recognises that more people want to travel to Bulgaria than ever before. With EU entry expected in 2007, that demand is only likely to increase." The British experts claim that Bulgaria is one of the destinations that reap the benefit of global air market growth and meet the demand of the "more adventurous British public". They expect the country to become even more popular following its entry into the European Union (EU) next year.
